See the WSJ article yesterday about how Gov. Walker has cut the Wis. budget by taking on the public employee union -- no more collective bargaining -- and now is taking on that state's higher education establishment. Next to judges that's the most protected bureaucracy.

ReplyDeleteEstablishment conservatives are NOT going to vote for Walker. The dems will siphon off a fair number of normal, moderate conservatives if Walker is nominated. Don't believe me? Go ahead, vote for the guy. He couldn't compromise with a fish over feeding time.
ReplyDeleteif Jeb Bush is the nominee; the conservatives will not vote. period. so 7:18, what will it be, a RINO or a conservative? I'll take a conservative any day...
ReplyDeleteby the way; read your political history. very little compromise from the beginning of this great nation. it's always been a battle and hopefully it always be a battle.
these pols were only supposed to be in D.C. Part-time, NOT fulltime and certainly not career pols sucking the life out of its citizens.
"establishment" Republicans are too soft, scared of their own shadow, too middle of the road aka "road kill". NOT worth their salt.
